Prophetic Intercession
by Jennifer Eivaz
Prophetic intercession is a sharp and powerful prayer communicated as a prophetic word. It is different from asking the Lord to do something, which would be a prayer of petition. Instead, it commands something to be done and puts the invisible realms into motion to bring it to pass.
The Bible describes the word of God to be alive, active, and sharper than any two- edged sword. These are not metaphors but real truths about the nature of God’s word. With a word, God stopped the rain and then restarted it through the prophet Elijah.
God created everything with a word. There is not anything made that was not made through His word. His Word holds everything in the universe together, and all creation responds to His Word. His word is living and creates new life in us.
When we say what God says, there is power in those words to bring something to life. God does not withhold the ability to prophesy from those who desire it and when you prophesy in prayer, you speak something out in the form of a command.
There are several forms prophetic words can take but all are living words that can both create and cut down. When we start something in prayer, we started it with a word from God. Prophetic intercession becomes the sharp sword of God’s word that pierces through spiritual barricades to release what God has promised us.
We see this demonstrated for us in the story of King David’s triumph over the Philistines. When this battle threat rose, David inquired of the Lord, and God assured him of victory. David attacked them and won and named the place Baal Perazim, which literally means “The Lord of the breakthrough.”
Prophetic intercession opens the spirit realm to us so we can prophesy in prayer more intelligently. Even so, we will encounter unyielding circumstances that seem to be untouchable. There is an answer in God, but we need to find the right key. That is the point at which we need to add fasting to our prayers, because fasting is a game changer.
Prayer: Holy Spirit, I ask that you give me your supernatural ability to distinguish and establish your will through creative words of prophetic intercession. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
